@WastelandWanderer: yes, mate. I was there last Monday. It's not crowded or anything. One other guy came up and chatted for a minute while I was paying my respects, and a couple was coming in as I was leaving. It's not elaborate at all; his son Brandon's stone is there also.

What did you like in Chicago?  I am from the suburbs so I am curious.

The thing with Gregor Gilispese is that he trying to fight up the ranking, But refusing to fight down, If everyone thought like that they no fights are made, Also it stupid because he ain't getting paid or moving up the ranking and the only thing he accomplishing is making himself more irrelevant in the division as people forget about you.

It also annoying because he has bad carrer management, He should of just took another fight just to keep himself relevant, It would make it more likely to get the RDA, Ferguson and Chandler fight he want, Because he just isn't relevent in the division when he fought one fight in 3 year and that one fight being a year ago, also he only on a one fight win streak, 

Also it does piss me off how he say Chandler, RDA and Ferguson is ducking him, RDA and Ferguson don't duck people and argubly took harder fight in FIzeav and Chandler, and Gilepse is the one turning down fight, I'm suprise he doesn't see the irony in the situation

@rappinpapsoda I went to grad school in Urbana, so I got up there a few times. As amazing as the city is, it usually came down to the Field Museum, the Art Institute, and Buddy Guy's Legends. I dig other clubs too, but Legends is the most comfortable and usually has the best band. I've never done the River tour of the city's architecture, but I hope to at some point - if I go there with my girlfriend or something. 

And, of course, there's Trader Vic's ;)

Don't stay at the Palmer House, though. Lobby like the Sistine Chapel, rooms like Sing Sing, pool like the puddle in my backyard.

When I went to Chicago I took an architecture tour, where the guide was telling us about all of the various skysc****rs and who designed them, etc. Very interesting

Also, just found out, RDA called out Gregor Gilpese to fight at UFC 272 after Fiziev pulled out, And Gillepse denied the fight, Gilepse carrer decision might be on of the worst I seen, He got what he wanted, Even if it like on 6 day short notice, Take the fight with RDA, He's not getting the big fight any other way because he just isn't relevant because he ain't fighting

Gilepse is a fun fighter and I have no problem for him as a fighter, But I do think he need to shut up and fight,

Historyguy, I have been there many times. The Field is awesome. My fav of the museums.A couple of movies were filmed there too. For the Art institute, Ferris Bueller had a scene there.
If you are ever there again, the Museum of science and Industry is another place. It’s the biggest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. 
I would also suggest Wrigley Field(it’s neighborhood bars too), and Millennium Park.

Damn Illinois seems like a cool place... Im pretty ignorant of the history and culture there, I mostly know Chicago/Illinois from all the gang shootings and wars that happen there..... But this clearly shows how ignorant I am......

Wasteland, do you mean the gang wars of the 30s or the ones today? If you mean the ones from Al Capone, there are quite a few sites for that. In fact, the Valentine’s Day massacre building is gone but it’s now a parking lot. Normally that would not seem like a big deal but you can actually be on the same ground from where it happened. Across from that location is the oven grinder. That is one of the best pizza places in the city. It’s totally unique. Then there is the theater where Dillinger was shot. The theater is still around and they have a memorial. Also, although not historically accurate, the shoot out at the end of the Untouchables shootout was at Union Station in Chicago.
Also where holy name cathedral is there is still the bullet hole when Hymie Weiss got assassinated by one of Capone’s men.

@rappinpapsoda Thanks for explaining, yeah I forgot about the old Italian American mob wars there, or I dont think I ever heard of them properly... The ones ive been following are more of the new age African American and Latino gangs, but yeah I remember learning before that the Italian and Irish and maybe other mobs had a presence in Illinois/Chicago back in the day.... I think the gangs have become more careless and vicious since those times though... I dont pray but I will try to meditate some good thoughts for the good people of Illinois. Yeah The Untouchables was filmed in Chicago? Epic film and city....... Always good to see you around RappinPap, not many Tapology users from back then are still going

@rappinpapsoda, I've never been to any of the old-school gangster sites - again, next time I'm there. I've been to Science and Industry, and you're spot on. It's a little more kid-oriented IMHO, but I haven't been there for a very long time. Shedd Aquarium is also a hell of a place.

@WastelandWanderer, if you're talking about the "murder city"-type reputation that has been hung on Chicago in recent years, that may be a bit exaggerated. I hate to diminish anyone's personal tragedy, but if you're expecting to have to dodge bullets, you may be disappointed. I understand that the area around Rosa's blues club is pretty hardcore - I don't go there.

Don't go to Gary, Indiana, though. Just don't.
